In a recent post on the site’s real estate blog, one of these experts wrote about the growing popularity of dome homes.

For his entry, Frank Anton, who helps run the popular real estate and mortgage rates section of Rates.Banks.com described the various types of dome homes currently on the market. Not surprisingly, first on his list was Monolithic Domes.

“The Monolithic dome home is strong, fire resistant, and ready to face the worst element nature brings.” He went on to explain that California is one of the states where interest in dome homes is on the rise, adding “The geometric architecture of a dome home is visually pleasing and the depending upon the type of construction, they can be resistant to wind, storm, earthquake, and insect damage.”

Theresa and Patrick O’Dell have always been interested in energy-efficient structures, but their interest peaked in 2000 when they saw an ad for Monolithic Domes in Mother Earth News. Patrick said, "Our last house was a conventional, 2000 square-foot home. It was all-electric and our utility bills averaged about $120 a month.

Being the coinventor of the dome and the founder of the Monolithic Dome Institute has given David B. South the opportunity to not only fine tune the building process, but to create a company whose main mission is to make available Monolithic Dome technology to all the world. It is the hope of Monolithic to educate the public about Monolithic Domes and to provide professional services to its customers by creating a successful partnership with them through all phases of their dome design, planning and construction.
